I first met Jimmy in 1997 when I started working post military. He would always say he didn’t know what he was doing when he obviously did. Played a joke on me and left some wires hot while I was wiring it. Jimmy was fun to work with for the time I did work with him. To his family, I send my condolences. He is a great guy and hard worker. God bless you Jimmy and yor family. You will be missed.
Mary Beth and family,May Jimmy rest in peace.He was a good husband and father.His life was taken too soon but I guess God had a plan for him.Jimmy had a good heart and would always give a helping hand to others.If you needed an electrician he would be there for you.He will be greatly missed.Please accept our condolence.

I’m so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He and your Mom were some of my favorite patients at Dr Berube’s office, he had a great sense of humor, and dearly loved your Mom. May they now rest in peace together.
